HOWDY!

[laurasimonsdaughter]

Perhaps the first knock on the door had woken him already, he couldn’t be sure. But the second round had him bolt upright in bed in an instant. It was the middle of the night. Who in the— Again a frantic rap at the door, not even stopping this time, but keeping on in a fast, incessant rhythm. It was only just not loud enough to be frightening.

He stumbled into the hallway, still blinking the sleep from his eyes. “Who’s there?”

The knocking stopped abruptly.

“I’m sorry to wake you.” A woman’s voice, low and tense. “I’m here for my brother. You have his key.”

He halted with his hand on the door. “I what?”

“Please open the door!”

“Who are you?”

He could feel as well as hear a thump against the door. “My brother is your neighbour, he gave you his key. I need to get in there. He’s- I just need the key.”

He wasn’t awake enough for his full range of judgment, but the worry in this person’s voice was real.

“Okay, hold on.” He fumbled for his own keys as well as the single apartment key with a leather tag on it that he’d been given after a couple awkward greetings and a chat about being new to the city.

When he opened the door, the young woman on his doorstep saw it immediately. “Oh thank god.”

He snatched his hand back from her grasping fingers.

“No offence, but how would I know if—”

“We’re related,” she snapped, furiously grabbing something from her coat pocket and shoving a driver’s license in his face. “Just let me have it!”

Liza May Merrin. That name meant nothing to him. But she probably meant— “Maxwell never told me his last name.”

She stared at him in utter disbelief. “You unlock the door then!” She grabbed his arm and pulled him outside and he followed for lack of a better idea what to do.

She did look a bit like Maxwell. They had the same unruly, sandy coloured hair. Only Maxwell was broader, with lighter eyes, and…

“Door. Please.” Liza pointed.

He unlocked the door. “What’s the—” he began, but she pushed past him as soon as she could.

“Wait here. I’ll be right back.”

Well, that rather defeated the purpose of coming with her. Besides, even if she was Maxwell’s sister that didn’t mean she was welcome here. He snatched the key from the lock and hurried after her, letting the door fall shut.

He froze two steps into the apartment, his heart jumping in his throat. The living room had been torn apart. There were shards on the floor and upended furniture and…

His heart flopped back into place. Liza was kneeling on the floor, unwinding something that looked like a leather leash from around the paws of the largest dog he had ever seen.

“Stupid, pigheaded, grade A moron,” she muttered under her breath, but he could hear the relief in her voice.

“Bloody hell.”

Both Liza and the dog snapped to attention, staring at him where he stood. Liza’s hands closed tightly around the leash.

“I’m sorry for being suspicious, but you could have just said he left his dog here alone,” he said. “You didn’t even tell me what the panic was for.”

The dog still stared at him with round, amber eyes, but Liza cleared her throat. “Right, yes, of course,” She shook her head. “I’m sorry, I wasn’t thinking straight anymore. Max knows he’s not supposed to leave him alone.” She looked down pointedly at the animal. “He acts a damn fool when he’s left alone.”

The dog let out a loud, disgruntled snort. Even lying down it looked intimidatingly large.

“I didn’t even know he had a dog.”

“Imagine that,” Maxwell's sister said airily. “All the things my brother forgets to mention. Me, his dog, his absolute lack of common sense.”

He let out half a laugh and took a careful step around the debris towards where she was sitting. “I’m Ren.”

“Oh I know who you are,” she said wryly. “My brother did tell me all about you.”

The dog growled, but she ignored him, and suddenly held out her hand.

He crouched down by her and shook it.

“I’m Liza.”

“I gathered.” He hesitated, glancing involuntarily at the dog again, who was now much closer. It was still looking at him and he was pretty sure, that if it stood up, it’d be higher than the couch it was half hidden behind. “What- what exactly did Maxwell say about me?”

She stood up without looking at him. “That he thought you’d be scared of dogs.”

The dog made another, sudden sound that went very quickly from a growl to a whine.

“I’m not!” Ren protested hastily, standing up again. “He’s gorgeous, actually.”

The dog sprang to its paws and knocked over a chair.

“Oh you think so?” Liza said and her smile suddenly had a sharp sort of satisfaction to it. “Then maybe you’d like to take him for a walk? While I clean up here?”

Ren looked at her in surprise. “I suppose… if that would help. I mean, I’m awake now anyway.”

“Thank you!” she she said and it did really sound like she meant it.

“Sure, no worries. Let me get some proper shoes on. Be right back.”

“Of course, I’ll get you a leash,” she said, and he heard her still talking as he walked out the door, in a very deliberate, sing-songy voice: “What a lucky boy you are, going for walkies, with your nice, helpful neighbour Ren.”

He walked back into his own apartment with raised eyebrows. You never could tell, could you, which people were the types to baby talk to pets.

You know what maybe corporations and businesses shouldn’t be our government. Something about their existence as a way to get profits and make product doesn’t fit with the whole, y’know, protecting peoples human rights and keeping federal institutions running for the good of the people type of things you’d expect from a government.

Idk seems like their goals don’t really align. Maybe corporations really shouldn’t be trying to influence government decisions so much.

Hermits as Norwegian Eurovision Songs (because I do what I want)

this is pretty much 100% on vibes and I'm sleep deprived but let's go!

ZombieCleo - 2013

hot, sexy, will kill. ominous love song. absolute banger. it threatens arson and stabbing and is perfect for Cleo. the whole world is theirs

Joe Hills - 2012

this got no points but it compels me. I love this song it's a banger and I don't know what I'm doing tonight but this rush is taking me higher. it just sounds like Joe to me. maximum effort, no idea why we're here, lets go

Scar and Cub - 1984

This is THE Norwegian Eurovision Song. This is joy incarnate. This is the first win from the country with the most last places. It followed nil points the year before. This is not caring about the results and just having a good time. This is the joy the convex bring when they're together

Xbcrafted - 2000

a chill song for a sweetheart. keralis calls him princess and my heart goes boom! also I want to see xb in these outfits please

Geminitay - 2023

girlboss song for stabbing and killing (Alessandra is a total cinnamon roll off the stage and when she won the national final she sat on the stage and cried with joy)

Iskall - 1968

hehehe this song is called stress but it's got the energy of an iskall noise montage and I love it

Docm77 - 2005

Hello doc put the costume on and scream for me please. I would enjoy it

Ethoslab - 2017

the voice in his head is Cleo btw. My guy is washed up but he's great and I adore his work.

Keralis - 1997

Incomprehensible. Flawless. Boogie woogie. You could pool party to this. Keralis could silly little guy to this (it got no points)

A coffee stroll in late afternoon Ok this one I went a lil feral on the bg and the lighting but it was super FUN. I love buildin up my bg skils >:3 Another fun commission done for @profoundlytenaciousgalaxy of their warbreds Keiron and Agrephix out for an evening stroll past a wasp run coffee shop called The Morning Buzz (man i want some of THAT coffee. bet its the best >u>)

[bambambunny]

I was thinkin abt the batch as a band and how perfectly they'd fit on the surface level like Hunter’s the posterboy on guitar, Wrecker on the drums, Crosshair on the bass, and Tech on the keyboard cuz thats where all the nerds go.

But then i thought about it a little more and now i think Tech would do really well on the drums. It might not be super bombastic but his job is to keep everyone else on beat and i absolutely believe with all my heart that he can turn into a human metronome.

But now i dont know where Wrecker would go :/
